Your actual Regex works fine, if I feed it into Expresso it even works - the problem is the string delimiters. You have delimited the string with '/' but your string also contains '/' characters, which will act as the end of the string.... If you use a different string delimiter (double quotes for example) it should work fine.

Change the outer delimiters:
'^(19|20)\d\d[- /.](0[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])$';

Solution 3

If you want regex for date format like 2013/12/25, try this

(\d){4}(\/)([0][1-9]|[1][012])(\/)([0][1-9]|[12][1-9]|[3][01])

To use this in your code say java, javascript, or c#, you will have to escape the '\' with '\'.
